Hello this is Ankur Puranik from India, Mumbai (Bombay) 18° 58.002' North,
72° 49.998' East
My report is as follows
A short report on Geminids 13th night through14th morning.
Observation time : 01: 00 to 03:00 IST (Indian Standard Time ) [7:30UTC to 9:30 UTC]
Location : India, Mumbai ( 18° 58.002' North, 72° 49.998' East )
Medium level city light pollution.
Total no of meteros seen : 52 geminids + 2 sporadic = 54 total.
Magnitude varied between -1 to -2.
One bright one seen at 1:35( IST) Mag : -4.
The activity decreased drastically after 2: 30 IST.
Comments : Though the show was not as good as the leonids of the last month, it was pretty satisfying. And being located in the prime city, I have missed out the faint ones because of light pollution. But I must say since that we all were lucky that the moon had gone for a vacation.
Any ways all the best to people in central america for the forth comming annular solar eclipe.
regards,
Ankur Puranik
